Moore signs first professional contract

We are delighted to announce that Mikey Moore has signed his first professional contract with the Club.

Having joined us as a seven-year-old, the attacking midfielder, who turned 17 on Sunday, progressed through our ranks and featured regularly for our Under-18s in 2022/23 while still a schoolboy, helping us secure the Under-17 and Under-18 Premier League Cup double.

In addition, in April, 2023, aged 15, he became the youngest player to appear for our Under-21s in the Premier League 2.

Last term, he enjoyed another impressive campaign with our Under-18s before making his first team debut against Manchester City in May, coming off the bench to become the Club’s youngest ever player to feature in a Premier League fixture at the age of 16 years, nine months and three days.

To date, he has made two competitive first team appearances in our colours and netted his first senior goal in our pre-season friendly against Hearts last month.

On the international stage, Mikey has represented England at Under-15, Under-16 and Under-17 levels to date.
